Molina has missed the last two games with his hamstring injury and has been replaced by Jose Lobaton behind the plate. Molina is hitting .221/.265/.325 in 77 at-bats. 

Just like that, his numbers have corrected themselves. In fact, they might even be due for a correction the other way. Having surrendered seven home runs in his last three starts, he's on pace to give up 51 this season. Granted, he's no stranger to the long ball, but that's just ridiculous.

Taking the good with the bad, if you like what the Royals right-hander has delivered to date, you should stick with him in Fantasy. He has more good starts ahead, just like he has more bad starts ahead.

Has the Tigers' young contact pitcher suddenly learned to miss bats? Over those four starts, Porcello has posted a 9 percent whiff rate that is above his norm, but outings against the Astros and Braves have helped to boost that mark. Those two squads just happen to have the lowest contact rates in the majors, according to FanGraphs.com.

I'll need to see a longer string of high-strikeout starts from Porcello before I see him as a viable standard mixed league option who can help with Ks.

Brasier was only in the majors for five days during this stint. He'll likely be back and forth from Salt Lake to the majors for most of the summer. 

Burnett will return to his role as a setup man and left-handed reliever. Ryan Brasier was optioned back to Triple-A Salt Lake to make room. 

In the biz, we call that "weathering the storm." Or at least we should. Basically, when a guy overdue for a cold streak comes out of that cold streak with numbers nearly as impressive as when he went in, his breakthrough seems all the more credible.

I still think Davis' batting average will gradually fall to about the .280 range over the next four-plus months, but he'll have so many bursts of productivity during that time that you'll hardly care. I recently moved him to 13th in my first base rankings, ahead of Freddie Freeman, making him more or less indispensable in all formats.

That could change, though. Cain has become prone to hitting grounders, turning 57 percent of his hit balls into worm-burners. With the relatively few flies he is hitting, Cain is batting .261, but unless he starts hitting with more home run power, that mark is likely to plummet.

Cain's appeal on Draft Day was the promise of speed and power, but he's looking like a poor bet to deliver on the latter, and he may also see his batting average dip. Even in Rotisserie leagues, at the very least, it's time to start hunting around for a replacement.

So far this year, he's following the same pattern. After hitting .252 with one homer in April, he's hitting .338 with five homers in May.

Last year was more the exception than the rule for the Reds slugger. His final numbers came out more or less the same, but he maintained a steady pace from start to finish. Normally, he's as streaky as streaky gets.

Case in point: After that colossal May in 2011, Bruce hit .236 with 16 home runs in his final 104 games. Just something to keep in mind whenever he cools off this time around.
